Testing blood or tissue signals in teen scoliosis prognosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at cell “signaling factors” to understand what predicts how adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may change over time. It may help doctors better forecast which curves are more likely to progress and tailor follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a girl age 10 to 13 years
- You have been told you have adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
- Your curve is in the mild-to-moderate range (Cobb angle 15–30 degrees)
- Your scoliosis is not from injury, and not from another known cause
- You do not have certain health conditions (inflammatory disease, diabetes, cancer)
- You have not had prior spine surgery

This study is looking for better ways to predict how adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) will progress and to guide treatment using genetic information. If you join, you'll get extra tests to help doctors understand your individual risk.
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
This trial tests a dynamic pressure monitoring system that tracks how a brace is applying pressure during treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It may help doctors better adjust brace therapy to improve outcomes and comfort.
This study looks at how the muscles along the spine work in teenagers with scoliosis. It uses special tests to measure muscle activity and spine shape, and may help understand how scoliosis affects back muscles.
This study looks at how the brain and muscles work together in teens with spinal curves (scoliosis). It uses skin sensors and brain wave tests to understand muscle control, which may help improve treatments.
This trial tests a 3D depth camera to measure spinal curves in teens with scoliosis. It may help avoid repeated X-rays while tracking your curve.
